    Our second time at Providence. The menu is set with 8 courses I think it was, and you can add on to that. It’s a lot of food, you really don’t need to add anything or you will be too full to finish dessert. Most the courses were amazing, but a few fell flat. Including the main entree which you have a choice of. I choose the monkfish. It was nothing special sadly. Great flavors, but nothing pushed the envelope, which makes it more palatable for the general diner. We chose the premium wine tasting. It’s a lot of wine so I’m glad we only did one pairing and shared. I wanted to love all the wine pairings but to be honest about half of them we did not care for. Next time I would skip the pairing and just order a couple of glasses of wine I know I like. And finally we were seated in an unfortunate spot, maybe bc we booked through OpenTable instead of calling in reservation? But we were right next to drink station and waiter computer station. So busy spot for workers which takes away from the ambience. Next time I’ll be more specific about where I’d like to be seated. The small area behind the bar looked fun, I’d request that.

    The service was incredibly quick and attentive, not to mention everyone was absolutely charming. The little details they put into making it a special dinner for a birthday was very endearing. And of course, the food was almost never ending courses of delightful flavors and textures presented beautifully. I left extremely full and happy and full of wonder at how they were able to achieve such a brilliant meal.

    I think they do an exceptional job in creating culinary art. The taste, the texture and the presentation are thoughtfully put together and give the guest a refined experience. I really enjoyed the duck and the scallop but every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The chocolate desert was just out of this world. And you take home with you a beautiful piece of chocolate that they make on premise

    Providence is one of the best restaurants in the world, and I mean that literally! Each time we go it gets better and better! For a restaurant of this caliber to grow and change with each experience is exceptional. Every bite was delicious. The service is unparalleled. And, it is not stuffy! There is so much warmth in the room and love on the plate. Truly outstanding in every way.

    Dinner at Providence is an experience to savor. The beautiful room offers the perfect ambiance - enough activity to feel involved, quiet enough for conversation, and just the right amount of table spacing. Service was attentive and perfectly timed without hovering. Friendly and professional. Now - the food. Each dish - tasty, complex, and gorgeous - was served on pretty plates or unique objects, and embellished with tiny edible flowers from the rooftop garden. We loved the wines, well-matched with each course and described as they were poured. We loved every minute of our three-hour dining experience. Cheers to the chef, servers, and everyone involved in creating our dinner.
